<div>On May 21, 2026, our lives changed in an instant. My husband was detained by ICE while he was taking our car to be repaired. He has no criminal record, has always worked hard to provide for our family, and has been a loving father and devoted husband. Since that day, our family has been struggling emotionally and financially. We suddenly went from two incomes to one. I work full-time and am currently looking for a second job, but despite my best efforts, I worry it still won’t be enough to cover rent, utilities, groceries, and the many unexpected expenses that have come with this situation. Our three children have been deeply affected. They are scared and confused, not knowing what the future holds for our family. Watching them go through this has been one of the hardest parts of this journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The funds raised will go directly toward our family’s expenses, including rent, utilities, groceries, transportation, travel costs so the children can see their father, commissary funds to help support him while he remains in the ICE facility, and all legal and immigration fees related to his case. I come to you with a humble heart. Asking for help is not easy for me, but I have had to put my pride aside and reach out for support during this difficult time. While we are grateful for the support of our family and friends, the financial burden remains overwhelming. Any donation, no matter the amount, will make a difference. If you are unable to donate, simply sharing our story would mean the world to us. Thank you for your understanding, kindness, prayers, and support. From the bottom of our hearts, we truly appreciate it.

<div>El 21 de mayo de 2026, nuestras vidas cambiaron de un momento a otro.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mi esposo fue detenido por ICE mientras llevábamos nuestro auto a reparar. Él no tiene antecedentes criminales, siempre ha trabajado duro para proveer a nuestra familia y ha sido un padre y esposo amoroso y dedicado. Desde ese día, nuestra familia ha estado pasando por momentos muy difíciles tanto emocional como económicamente.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>De repente pasamos de tener dos ingresos a depender de uno solo. Yo trabajo tiempo completo y actualmente estoy buscando un segundo empleo, pero aun así me preocupa que no sea suficiente para cubrir la renta, los servicios, los alimentos y muchos otros gastos inesperados que han surgido a raíz de esta situación.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nuestros tres hijos han sido profundamente afectados. Tienen miedo y están confundidos, sin saber qué pasará con nuestra familia. Verlos pasar por esto ha sido una de las partes más difíciles de todo este proceso.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Los fondos recaudados se utilizarán directamente para los gastos de nuestra familia, incluyendo la renta, servicios, comida, transporte, gastos de viaje para que los niños puedan ver a su papá, fondos para la cuenta de comisaría (commissary) mientras él permanece en el centro de ICE, así como honorarios legales y gastos relacionados con su proceso migratorio.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Vengo a ustedes con un corazón humilde. Pedir ayuda no es fácil para mí, pero he tenido que dejar el orgullo a un lado y buscar apoyo en este momento tan difícil. Aunque contamos con el apoyo de nuestra familia y seres queridos, la carga económica sigue siendo muy grande.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cualquier donación, sin importar la cantidad, será de gran ayuda. Si no puedes donar, compartir nuestra historia también significaría mucho para nosotros.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias por su comprensión, amabilidad, oraciones y apoyo. De todo corazón, les agradecemos profundamente.
</div>
